Chapter 84: Thanos’ Punishment

Benjamin and everyone stared at Daredevil dumbfoundedly.

“...Have you been spending too much time with Spider-Man lately?”

“...It was just a joke. Is it that unnatural for me to joke? Was it that bad?”

Daredevil sighed.

“Well, I wanted to get used to hearing how aliens’ heart beats. In case they ever show up on Earth someday, I’d know how to differentiate them.”

Benjamin nodded.

“Alright. Having you there can also be an advantage during the negotiation.”

With that settled, Benjamin reopened the portals back to Earth for everyone to go back.

Just as everyone was about to go through, a red figure emerged from the portal.

“Tadah~! The D-man’s here! It’s time to die Josh Brolin!”

“...”

Benjamin facepalmed himself at the sight of Deadpool.

He had avoided bringing him here but somehow this guy still knew and even went through the portal just as he opened it...

Wolverine passed by Benjamin and patted his shoulder.

“Heh. Good luck with that, Bub.”

“Huh?”

Benjamin stared at him in shock.

He turned to the others who only looked away and left quickly through the portal.

Benjamin’s face fell.

He felt as if the whole world had betrayed him!

Deadpool looked at everyone leaving and was confused.

“Wait, is it over? Was I a few chapters late!? This won’t do! I’ll go back to the previous chapter real qui-”

Benjamin acted swiftly and used the Reality Stone to throw a Pikachu through one of the portals.

“Look! A wild Pikachu!”

“Ooh! Shiny! Fun fact: I used to voice Pikachu in another uni-”

Without waiting for him to finish, Benjamin closed the portal as soon as Deadpool went through with it.

Benjamin sighed and wiped the imaginary sweat on his forehead.

He looked around and saw that there were still a few people sticking around.

Namely, Reed Richards, Tony Stark, and Bruce Banner.

“Hm? Do you guys need something?”

Reed Richards answered first.

“This planet we’re on...do you mind if I study it for a bit? It’s nearly 90% similar to our planet and I’m more curious about the remaining 10% difference.”

“...Just don’t do anything dangerous.”

“Of course. I’m merely studying it. How dangerous can it get?”

Reed shrugged but Benjamin felt otherwise.

Well, at least it should be safer to do any of his experiments here than on Earth.

“And you guys?”

“I’m also a bit curious about this planet.”

“I’m thinking of building a resort or hotel here.”

Bruce and Tony answered.

“You don’t need to worry too much about those Celestials or even Galactus. If they try to harm you, I’ll grant them a quick Death.”

“...Thank you. That’s very reassuring to hear.”

“Of course, if that ‘brat’ comes for you, I can’t do anything.”

Brat?

Is she perhaps...talking about the Beyonder?

Benjamin wanted to ask but felt like he shouldn’t be namedropping such beings.

Benjamin smiled and shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter. When it comes to it. I’ll just grit my teeth and somehow make it through.”

“Fufu, I’m sure you will.”

Death also smiled.

Benjamin fell silent for a moment while Death continued to embrace him.

Suddenly, he remembered.

“Right, how is the new inmate?”

“Still screaming his soul out. Wanna see?”

“Alright.”

Benjamin closed his eyes and entered the Soul World of the Soul Stone.

There, he saw a beautiful mansion on top of a beautiful island.

Hela stood at the entrance in her maid outfit.

Benjamin looked at her weirdly.

“Have you really come to like that outfit? You kinda suit it now.”

“...”

Hela didn’t say anything and only glared at him.

Benjamin coughed and didn’t bother her anymore.

Heading to the deepest basement, Benjamin and Death soon arrived in front of Thanos’ cell.

With him being completely enclosed in walls, they weren’t able to hear any sound leaking so Benjamin removed a wall to take a look.

“AAAAAAAHHHHH!!! PLEASE...NO MORE...!!! LET ME DIE!!!”

Thanos’ soul appeared in front of them bound in chains that burned his soul, only to be reconstructed again and burned all over again.

Death smiled.

“This cycle of life and death will continue on the same number of lives he took. What do you think?”

“Hm. I suppose that’s only fitting.”

Benjamin nodded.

Considering how many lives Thanos took...this is simply going to continue for an eternity.

Suddenly, Death had an idea.

“Actually, I know a way to further enhance his torment~”

“Oh? Tell me.”

Benjamin looked at her curiously.

Was there anything else more painful than your own soul burning for eternity?

Death grinned and whispered to Benjamin.

“Simple. Fuck me in front of him.”

“...”

Benjamin felt the thread of reason in his mind snap.

Holy shit!
